NOT A LOCAL ISSUE.

Tie President Interprets the Retaliation
Act to BE Measure for the Mainte-
nance of the Nations Honor and Dig
nifty and as Such VIII Enforce 1t to the
Full Extent, Should the Occasion Arise.
WASHINGTON, April TO- day or two ago
President Cleveland received communi.
cation from the American Fishery Union,
OF Mass achusetts, calling his attention to
the fisheries dispute and making reference
to the Retaliatory act passed by Congress
at its last session. The communication sug
gested that this law would be sufficiently
executed If the proposed retaliation were
confined to the closing of United States
markets to Canadian fish. The President
replied ina letter. as follows says:
ct understand that the main purpose of your
letter is to suggest that in case recourse to the
retaliatory measures authorized by this act
should be invited by unjust treatment of our
fishermen in the future, the object of such re-
taliation might be fully accomplished by pro-
hibiting Canadian caught fish from entry into
the ports Of the United States The ex-
listing controversy is in which
two nations are the parties concerned. The re-
taliation contemplated by the act of Con-
gress is to be enforced, not to protect solely any
particular interest, however meritorious or val
liable, but to maintain the National honor, and
thus protect all our people. In this view, the
violation of American fishery rights, and unjust
or unfriendly acts toward a portion of our citl-
zens engaged in this business, is but the occa-
sion for action, and constitutes National
affront, which gives birth to or may justify
retaliation. This measure once resorted
to, its effectiveness and value may we'll depend
upon the thoroughness and extent of its appI-
cation and in the performance of International
duties, the enforcement of international rights
and the protection of our citizens this Govern
ment and the people of the United States must
act as unit, all intent upon attaining the best
result of retaliation upon the basis of main
tenance of National honor and duty.
GA Nation seeking by any means to maintain
its honor, dignity and integrity is engaged in
protecting the rights of its people, and if in
such efforts particular interests are injured and
special advantages forfeited these things
should be periodically borne for the public
good.
In the performance of the serious duty which
Congress has imposed upon me, and in the ex-
ferred under the act referred to, 1 shall
deem myself bound to inf1ict no unnec-
essary damage or injury upon any por-
ton of our people, but L SHALL neverthe-
less, be unf nchingly guided by a sense of
what the self-respect and dignity of the Nation
demand. In the maintenance of these and in
the support of the honor of the Government,
beneath which every citizen may repose in safe
ty no sacrifice. of personal or private interests
shall be considered as against the general well
fare Yours very truly,
"GROVER CLEVELAND"

PLURAL MARRIAGES.

They are Strongly Denounced in .
Pointed Sermon by SON of Joseph
Smith, one of the Founders of the
Mormon Church.
CLEVELAND, O., April 1L-There was a
large attendance of outsiders at the confer
ence Of Latter-Day Saints in Kirkland yes
terday, the attraction being the sermon by
President Joseph Smith, a son of the
founder of the church, against the Nor
mon doctrine of polygamy. Mr.. Smith be-
gan his sermon by the emphatic declara
ton:
II have no belief in this philosophy of polyg-
amy. I am identified with people many OF
whom have gone over with the extremists and
cast their lot with the advocates of plural mar
riages. I desire to state publicly that I am
not of their number. need make no personal
onslaught on those who accept the polygamous
clause in the Mormon religion, nor shall
1. We ought to take it for granted that
God knew what He was about when He created
the world. When the earth was ready for man
God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden OF
Eden. If He had intended two wives for Adam
he would have given them to HIM. When
Adam and Eve were joined together they were
immortal and the marriage was celestial. Now
there came time wheN it was necessary to begin
populating the earth over again. Men and
women had sinned, and God wished to crush
wickedness out Of the world. If He had made
a mistake at the creation in giving Adam but
one wife, here was grand opportunity to re-
verse the order of things and give Noah two
wives. Did God do so? No. He commanded
Noah to take one wife and his servants one
wife. Do not you, my brethren, believe that
God is wise enough to have improved that OPP
portunity to rectify any errors in judgment in
parceling out to man but one helpmeet? But
God had another opportunity to correct the
mistake, if one had been made. When He led
Levi and his wife out OF the land Of Judea, if
God had desired to reverse His judgment in
giving Noah but single wife He could have
put Himself right But He did not do it. take
the three great events as proof positive, unan-
swerable and overwhelming, that God intended
man to have but one wife"
The speaker went on to say that the
Latter Day Saints stood committed to the
doctrine of single marriages. Further
proof of the error OF polygamy, he said,
was found in the twenty-third and twenty
fourth verses of the second chapter O. Gen.
